Official Nepthu Discussion Thread

Nepthu stars in one of my favorite episodes, "Temple of the Sun." He's also one of my favorite one-off villains. Given the chance, I think he could've made a great return villain much like Masque could have. The figure could come with his scarab and the diamond Zoar. I'd also like to see the Sand Demons he created as army builders.

Well, I do see that this guy has an official "speculation" thread, but seeing as there are only five posts, can't say he's really a fan-demanded figure. I don't think too many will be sad if he ends up not released. Do you guys think there's a high probability of him being one of those released through this "special program" that will be introduced at NYTF?

I have nothing against the idea of Nepthu as a figure, but he is practically at the bottom of the "wish list" of Filmation characters. More people have been vocal about Chef Allen than this guy. If Nepthu makes it into the line before characters like Shokoti, Masque, Lizard Man, Strong Arm, Icer, Batros, Evilseed, Kothos, General Tataran, Granita, Vultak, Madame Razz, Seahawk, Melaktha, Dylamug, Kittrina, Delora, Imp, Melog, Huntara, Scorpia, Uncle Montork, Dree-Elle, Robot Knights, Hunga the Harpy, Red Knight, General Sunder, Negator, Chimera...and yes, even Chef Allen, then I'd say it has nothing to do with fan demand. Even the Filmation versions of Tung Lasher and Count Marzo are more requested than Nepthu, and they are variants!

Nepthu is definitely a cool looking character. I would like to get him but, unfortunately, I am in the minority in wanting every Filmation character in the series. So I doubt if we'll see him. However, the sand monsters are great and I think a lot of us would love to see them. They were great generic monsters that have high recognizability.

Well, I have to say personally I am glad to NOT have seen Nepthu as a reveal at NYTF this past weekend. I know that doesn't mean he won't be one of the final three slots in the Filmation sub this year. Again I don't hate him, just not thrilled about him.

I'm all for Nepthu in 'Classics. But the Sand Demons/Rock Monsters even more so. Beast slots with interchangeable heads, each painted tan or gray respectively. I want those almost more than Horde Troopers and repainted Snakemen.

Besides his amulet, he could come with that crystallized (or metallic?) version of Zoar. I imagine the 4H could do more detailing with his design. The Egyptian concept looks good and he's a basic buck figure. He isn't in my Top Ten for Filmation wants, but I'd gladly buy one.

I'm a fan of Egyptian history, and I'm actually visiting Cairo next year, so I'd be down for Nepthu. The crystal Zoar would be fun, but given matty's penchant for skimping on accessories, I fear it would just be a translucent version of the bird we already have instead of the unique sculpt that would be needed to do it justice.
